It's been exactly one month from the last time I posted something on my blog. I was reminded of that by a friend this week. Is my blog dying? It seems that Facebook and Twitter are trying to kill my blog. Why would they be trying to kill my blog?
Facebook: I must admit that I like Facebook. There have been times that I have been annoyed by it, but it is a really good tool to get information to a select group of people. It's also a great way to stalk your friends (see my post on that here). It seems that when I have something to say or pictures to share I find myself looking to facebook first. I realize that everyone connected to my life is not on Facebook so that's one of the reasons I haven't buried this blog by now.
Twitter: I have a Twitter account, but I don't use it. Why? The main reason is probably because I don't have a blackberry or iPhone. It's hard to "follow" people on my little LG VX 8350. If I don't use Twitter then why would Twitter be trying to kill my blog? Precisely because Twitter is conditioning people to keep their message within a 140 character length. If I were Twittering this post it would end at "is my blog dyi" in the first paragraph. Sure, it's good to keep messages short and sweet, but sometimes there is a need to say more.
So for now I'm going to keep this blog going and try to update it much more often than once a month!
